AIADMK a weed, should be eradicated: CM Stalin at agri expo
He was speaking after inaugurating a three-day agricultural exhibition and conference organised by the Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department at Vijayamangalam in Erode district.
'Farmer suicides increased during the last AIADMK regime. When farmers protested in Delhi against the now-repealed three contentious central farm laws (2020-21), the AIADMK supported those laws without any shame. That's why farmers defeated that party. Weeds like AIADMK should be completely eradicated from the country,' Stalin said.
'Many more schemes for farmers are going to come under the Dravidian model government, which will come to power again in Tamil Nadu. And for that, all the farmers should support this government. We are not fake farmers who deceive people. We are the first to support farmers in times of trouble,' the CM added.
Stalin said he was delighted to meet the farmers of the western region through this event before the release of water from Mettur Dam on Thursday for Cauvery Delta irrigation.

Minister releases book of achievements
1 2 Trichy: Minister for natural resources S Regupathy released a book of achievements about projects implemented in Pudukottai district on Saturday. Speaking to reporters there, he said AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami could only issue a 'book of miseries.' He was responding to questions about Palaniswami's claims that the DMK govt did not begin any new schemes. "Our schemes are new, which emanate from our leader's (chief minister M K Stalin) thoughts. As Palaniswami could not lay claim on them, he is alleging that we are shelving schemes he introduced," he said. Regupathy criticised Palaniswami for asking if BJP is a communal party while justifying his alliance. He said Palaniswami is a liar and has been blabbering in fear of losing. To a question about the possibility of an increase in electoral roll with non-residents of Tamil Nadu, Regupathy said giving voting rights to non-residents is unacceptable. "Tamil Nadu voters have a different view from Bihar voters. There are rights where one should vote. Tamil Nadu will not accept importing voters from other states," he said. DMK will take such issues to the notice of the Election Commission, he added. Regupathy participated in 'Ungaludan Stalin' camps in Pudukottai district. Meanwhile, speaking in Trichy while launching Nalam Kakkum Stalin camp, municipal administrations minister K N Nehru said, "None from DMK alliance would leave; instead, it is people from their (AIADMK-BJP) camp who are approaching us, like OPS. Edappadi Palaniswami has joined hands with the BJP to safeguard himself." Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !

DMK MP, MLA hurl abuses at each other
1 2 Theni: A heated exchange between Theni MP Thanga Tamil Selvan and Andipatti MLA A Maharajan, both of DMK, disrupted the launch of 'Nalam Kaakkum Stalin' at a hall in Sakkampatti near Andipatti on Saturday, forcing officials to stop the inaugural ceremony midway. The flashpoint came when Thanga Tamil Selvan got upset that his photo was missing from the event's welcome banner, which featured only the MLA. The MP questioned district collector Ranjeet Singh over the omission. He then turned his ire on MLA Maharajan, accusing him of deliberately excluding him from the arrangements and sidelining the MP's role. In response, Maharajan insisted that only he would distribute the welfare aid cards. The MP attempted to snatch one from the MLA's hand and accused him of using offensive language. The spat escalated into a full-blown argument on stage in front of the officials and the public with both abusing each other. The collector, along with police officials, pacified both of them. Later, the MP and MLA left the welfare distribution ceremony midway, though the camp continued as planned.
